SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the hyperfine structure frequencies of various elements, specifically highlighting caesium-133 at 9,192,631,770 Hz and hydrogen at 1,420,405,751.7667 Hz. Participants express interest in locating comprehensive lists of hyperfine structure frequencies for other elements and isotopes, noting a 2016 paper detailing newly discovered lines of lanthanum that contains several hundred entries. The conversation raises questions about identifying patterns in these frequencies and the challenges of accessing relevant research, particularly non-English publications.
